What did we just watch?

 

[Sedino]

If Kylan wasn't on this team we would be so bad. Thank god he is though.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

13-0 run to close the half. Putting a heck of a lot of 'fight' in Fighting Illini.

Send these circus clowns back to the corn where they belong

13-0 run to end the half.

 

[GTL Adam]

Jake’s 3 closed a five point trip down the court which may have turned this game around

 

[BTM33]

It was 30 to 16 and I said out loud "Lets see if they got any heart"

They closed the half out with alot of it.

 

[kyillinifan]

Nice nice come back. The last 5 min of hustle

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Once they got in Sandfort's jock, the game turned. Keep it up.

Oh, and no more 3s for Stojakovich.

 

[NASchamp]

We just need to rebound like we can. Multiple times in the first half we had more people in a better position and Nebraska still came away with the rebound. They just plain want it more.

 

[Miles Leonard]

Would you believe that we are TIED at half?

 

[PapaDelsMadeMeFat]

I stand by my comment … We’re on a great run … That’s not the time for Davis …

Andrej’s 3 from the corner would have hit off the back iron and bounced over the backboard.

 

[zentrails]

I guess you don't have to be set to draw a charge anymore,

Looked like he jumped right in front of him, can't do that

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Sandfort as hot as a player can be and still managed to tie the game by half.

What's the +/- for Sandfort. Pretty sure that run came right after he left

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

WOW

 

[socalini]

Well, we woke up. I credit Wag’s D and Tomi’s block on Mast.

 

[stlrunner]

Haha….those poor folks who bailed on watching so early really missed some fun basketball at the end of the half. That’s why you play 40 minutes.

 

[FloridaMan]

Be nice if our effort started at the tip. Tied after that start to the half is unbelievable. Not sure I could ever be as frustrated with an Illini team after 22-23 but here we are.

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

I stand by my comment … We’re on a great run … That’s not the time for Davis …

I don't mind it with Sandfort out. You need shooters to spread out Nebraska's defenders so putting him out there opens things up for drives. I actually think that was some good coaching.

 

[Bleedorangeandblue44]

That is the wildest way to get to a halftime tie I've ever seen

 

[From the cheap seats]

Well that was an interesting two games

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

Now guard the crap out of Sandcastle when he comes back in

13 pages of lunacy to a tie game so quickly.
